"'Faced with Nietzsche, coed dorms, Hitchens, and beer pong, students are likely to stray.' There are two really amazing aspects of that. For one, to be so culturally ubiquitous that you can be mentioned in a sentence like that without any further explanation is pretty exceptional. But also to be sandwiched between "Nietzsche" and "beer pong" is an honor that very few of us can ever aspire to."
